Taptite 2000® Fasteners
High performance thread rolling screws specially designed to lower your in-place fastening costs.
Taptite 2000® screws form internal threads into plain holes in ductile materials upon initial installation, which:
- Eliminates the need to pre-tap the nut member
- Reduces problems associated with assembling screws and bolts into pre-tapped holes, such as cross-threading

Benefits
- Reduces friction
- Increases prevailing torque
- Resists loosening caused by vibration
- Lower end load requirements
- Lowers thread forming torque without sacrificing performance
- Higher, more uniform drive-to-fail ratio
- Increased drive-to-strip ratio
- Resist internal thread stripping
- Excellent axial alignment
- Results in higher strength internal threads due to the cold flow/work hardening that occurs during the forming of the nut thread
- Significantly extends tool life
- Ideal drive system for maximum torque transfer
